Let them reopen. When numbers surge, schools will shut down. And, maybe when their kids get sick, more people will take COVID more seriously.

The ‘prosecutors’ on this board, who will ask a PP a clarification question for the sole purpose of ripping them to shreds.

Posters who love to tell people that they are fat or they can fix the issue if they would just lose weight.

So random and neighborhood-specific and I only see these posts for select parts of Montgomery County. Take it to your neighborhood listserv or Next Door.

OMG and worse (but I guess we don't see it as often thanks to COVID):

"Is there a stomach bug going around?"

Around where? The entire DC area? Yeah, I bet at any given pre-COVID time there are a dozen kids in every school that have a stomach bug. Really a question that betrays almost no understanding of statistics.

I'm with you.

I really hate when things like math, science, and geography are disrespected.

Another one in that general vein--

Post about test scores or gifted programs or something.

5 out of 7 posters mention their kid was in the 99th percentile.

Some person with a poor understanding of statistics and response bias:

"Lol no way so many of you have kids in the 99th percentile! Most of you are obviously lying."

That type of poster rears her ugly head every year. AAP is such a scourge.

The wordsmiths suddenly using "calculus" in comments.

"Anyways"

The ing posters

I'm loving
I'm wanting

I like "I'm loving" or "I'm wanting." It suggests a crush, a craving, a temporary fascination. IOW, it's a distinction with meaning, not just a slangy way of using those verbs.

They’re the human equivalent of those OPEN SCHOOLS NOW signs. So bizarrely aggressive. And unhelpful.

The Roll Tide! guy. Roll Tide!

The "CNU is a conservative school" poster

The schools must reopen NOW folks. Sigh. I get it. We all want to go back to normal ASAP. But lashing out at teachers, principals, and other parents is furthering your argument.

It’s like...do you even know how the internet works?

The “what are you doing on a mommy website if you don’t have kids?” posters on a thread about kitchen counters, or ETFs, or the Virginia governor’s race? Hate. I report those and Jeff deletes them.
